Ohio State won the College Football National Championship on Monday, but had the Buckeyes lost to the Ducks, they still would’ve been the big winner in college football’s money game.

The University of Texas has held the top spot as college football’s biggest revenue generator but was overtaken by the Buckeyes in 2015; Ohio State’s program-worth clocks in at a cool $1,127,580,000.

Michigan, Texas, Notre Dame, Florida, Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Nebraska round out the top-10 respectively, and I’ve included the figures for the top-50 below.
